Summary: 'To make a goat's tail of it' : to get to the heart of a matter, tocut a long story short. Ga proverb.

I'm not generally much for challenges but I thought that this onemight just be interesting.

Tell a complete story in no more than 1000 words, one with abeginning, middle and end. One that goes somewhere. One that stands onits own two (or four, or 100 rocket propelled legs) feet -- ie noextracts of bigger works and no need for a person to refer to anythingelse you may have written to 'get' it better.

Tell it about anything at all that's construable as Gatch related.

Tell it between September 15th and October 31st. Look forward toseeing what happens.
